SeaWolves Rally Past Ponies in Saturday Matinee

BINGHAMTON, NY – The Erie SeaWolves (12-8) used a three-run seventh inning to defeat the Binghamton Rumble Ponies 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at Mirabito Stadium.

In the seventh, with the Ponies ahead 1-0, Daniel Cabrera hit a one out double followed by an infield hit from Jon Rosoff off RHP Justin Lasko (0-1). Pinch-hitter Andre Lipcius then tied the game on an RBI double. After an intentional walk to Kerry Carpenter to load the bases, Dillon Dingler hit a two-run double off the right center field wall to put Erie up 3-1.

Erie reliever Bubba Derby came on in the seventh with two on and two out to strike out Francisco Alvarez swinging to end the inning. Derby pitched a scoreless eighth and Gerson Moreno closed out the ninth for his first save of the year.
